Last Day of the Mars Habitat

Thursday was he last day of the Mars Habitat. We finally finished this project but it took an extra week. This week was the first week that we had sunshine for more than three days in a row. I invited all the teachers to bring their classes out and explore the Habitat. We probably had over 300 students go through. Of course Murphy’s Law showed up, right on time. Just as we were at full pressure and about to let all the students in, we lost power and all the fans went off. And it was also when the newspaper reporter was interviewing me and the class lead engineers. Fortunately, within a few minutes, the fans went back on and the Mars Habitat went to full pressure. It was a great learning experience for all the students.
